It all sounds familiar, doesn't it? A blog falls out of use, and then the author comes after 6 months and says he or she will resume posting, and then stops blogging for 6 months, then says he or she will resume posting . . . wash, rinse, repeat.
I spent a bit of time redesigning the site (and by redesigning, I mean changing the default Blogger template) in the hopes that it will jumpstart me on providing regular updates. The last year has soon a lot of work done to the house, and a new addition to the family--our four-month-old son, Charlie. Right now we are in the middle of a tub/shower overhaul that is consuming a lot of time, and we recently put on a new roof, which consumed a lot of money. Stay tuned for some substantive posts; if nothing else, I need to post just to prove Kendra wrong, who has long proclaimed this blog as dead.
So what type of posts are on tap? Here is a short list of improvements in the works or that have been completed since we last updated:
*Refurbishing the first of 12 old windows
*New roof
*Extensive landscaping
*Minor exterior repairs
*Insulation of pipes (because they burst!)
*New tub/shower/tile job in downstairs bathroom
*Removing four loads of tree trimmings from our beautiful maple trees
*Construction of outdoor play set (not an improvement to the home, but a major construction project nevertheless)
I'm guessing that we can also get some pretty serious "before" and "after" shots done. But in any case, I feel like I owe it to someone (who, I don't know; the house maybe?) to keep this blog going.
